Liger blends the worst aspects of Puri Jaggannath’s flicks and misogyny in Bollywood

Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda became well-known across the country after Shahid Kapoor replicated his Arjun Reddy and produced one of his most criticised movies, Kabir Singh. Liger, a Friday release starring Ananya Panday, marked Vijay’s debut in Hindi movies. The movie, which was made in Tamil and is supported by Karan Johar, is being billed as Ananya’s Tamil debut.

Most of us anticipated the Telugu film, directed by Puri Jaggannath, to be misogynistic. He has previously produced movies like Pokiri, which Salman Khan starred in and which brought filmy sexism to new lows in Hindi cinema.

Although the movie Liger begins with an MMA battle, our hero Liger (Vijay) is fleeing through the streets in an effort to save Tania, the girl he despises the most (Ananya). Vijay refers to her as a “churail” (witch) who has ruined his life in the voiceover. The next two hours show how Liger trains to become a world MMA champion, the part his mother (Balamani, played by Ramya) played, and how Tania is a catalyst for his success.

Puri is excellent at repeating the stereotypes of patriarchy and demeaning women while recounting the story. It starts with the description of the heroine (who is, indeed, a “churail” who tempts men to stray from their life goals). Then, as the flashbacks start, Tania follows Liger and even confronts him.

Balamani, Liger’s mother, is no better; she forewarns him of “churails” who will “wear ripped midis, smile, act all silly and then entice him away” from his life’s ambition of competing on a global scale. In actuality, the two main female characters—Tania and Balamani—appear to be the largest misogynists.

Even in one scenario, Liger engages in combat with a group of Krav Maga masters, maybe in an effort to disprove any claims of misogyny. But Puri Jaggannath also paints that situation with his gender politics without holding back. While they are fighting, Liger asks, “Why are you hitting me; did I impregnate you and run away?”

The misogyny was maybe expected considering Puri Jaggannath and the Arjun Reddy star worked together on the movie. The saddest aspect of the movie is how Ramya is portrayed. It frequently seems as though Rajamata Sivagami Devi from SS Rajamouli’s Bahubali was flown and placed in a setting with a debased culture. She is a far better actor than Liger, as we can see.
